Saturdays involve coffee, reading some of my favourite blogs, and thinking about what to tackle first in my home. The kitchen and bathroom look equally messy. The heap of clothes on the bathroom floor may give that section a victory. Last night I vegged. I had nothing much planned, opting to watch Interstellar with a … Continue reading Time to Breathe

The Coding Saga: Half-Way Point
It's week 5 of the 10 week course. I have part B of my design document to work on, and my Autobiography Page will submit as of this writing. Before tackling our final assignment, it's a small one to apply what we learned. The verdict as I did it? Some things stick, others require poster … Continue reading The Coding Saga: Half-Way Point
Off The Wall Moves Forward On Its New Project
Off The Wall, my writers' group, just met this past weekend to discuss plans for our next venture. We have written, right now we are polishing, and we have an idea who things will get structured. On my end I have a story to polish as best it can, and fix up my preface for … Continue reading Off The Wall Moves Forward On Its New Project
Music Monday: New Moon On Monday by Duran Duran
Why not have a Music Monday selection with 'Monday' in it? Long before One Direction, in my case it feels much longer, teenage girls went ga-ga over Duran Duran. Everyone had their favourite, and mine was Simon Le Bon. Listening to their albums now, I wonder what Simon smoked to write some of his lyrics. … Continue reading Music Monday: New Moon On Monday by Duran Duran
The Coding Saga Continues: Now I Know What Some of This Stuff Means
Post writing in WordPress has two options: I create using visual most of the time. I started to notice the code in HTML mode as I embedded rdio tracks or Youtube. I already had images, or other such items, and I noticed the coding arrangement. Beyond paragraphing, bold, and italics, plus some headers, codes for … Continue reading The Coding Saga Continues: Now I Know What Some of This Stuff Means
Finally Scrubbing Winter Off, or My Personal Bistro/Cafe Opens for “Business”
If I took the bus like I usually do, I would not have the energy to even pick up a bucket. Fate, timing, or whatever a person calls it, intervened in the form of a friend getting me home at 4:30. I ate some supper, opened the windows, and decided enough was enough. I left … Continue reading Finally Scrubbing Winter Off, or My Personal Bistro/Cafe Opens for “Business”
Reading in Progress: The Sense of Style: A Thinking Person’s Guide to Writing in the 21st Century
Book talks usually happen after I read the book. I decided to flip the script and talk about a book in progress, especially a book helping me take a look at my writing. Steven Pinker's The Sense of Style: the Thinking Person's Guide to Writing in the 21st Century already generated heated debate among those … Continue reading Reading in Progress: The Sense of Style: A Thinking Person’s Guide to Writing in the 21st Century
Did You Get Lost?
On my way to work the other day, I saw two Canada Geese hopping around downtown Winnipeg. I took a picture of this one looking out, wondering if he went left instead of right at main.
Music Monday: Cooking Up A Soundtrack El Caliente From the Movie ‘Chef’
While I enjoy a good superhero filled with action and sass, Jon Favreau wrote and directed a small film called Chef. Most people know him helping launch the Marvel cinematic universe with Iron Man; Chef throws back to the films making Favreau a household name with character banter and delicious detail found in his first film … Continue reading Music Monday: Cooking Up A Soundtrack El Caliente From the Movie ‘Chef’
Tap-Dancing Gremlins On My Chest, and A Week 2 Hiccup
I have some mugs that go with my dish set, and these can hold 355 ml, or 12 fl oz for Americans. The green mug over here holds a touch more, but I notice it comes out if heavy duty work needs caffeine. My plans yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before … Continue reading Tap-Dancing Gremlins On My Chest, and A Week 2 Hiccup
